Wednesday is stakes night at Indiana Grand, where a pair of turf races will be contested. The $200,000 Centaur will be contested at one mile for 3-year-olds, and the $100,000 J. Kenneth Self Shelby County Boys and Girls Club will be contested at 1 1/16 miles for older horses. General Jack will be looking for his second consecutive win for trainer Mike Maker in the Centaur, a race named for the parent company of Indiana Grand, Centaur Gaming. The Giant’s Causeway colt won an allowance race at Churchill Downs last out June 6 going the same distance as the Centaur. He won by 4 1/2 lengths and earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 91. That is the highest turf Beyer earned by any horse in Wednesday’s 11-horse field. Maker likes the chances of his charge. “He is doing great, headed in the right direction,” Maker said. “We are expecting a repeat of his last race.” General Jack drew the outside post, but that does not concern Maker. “The outside post should give him the opportunity to put himself in a good spot,” Maker said. “There is plenty of speed, and so he can lay just off the pace and have things his way.” Robby Albarado will ride General Jack for the first time. “He is a great rider, and I think he will fit the horse well,” Maker said. The jockey-trainer combination of Maker and Albarado has won at a 22 percent clip over the past two years, according to DRF ’s Formulator. DRF FORMULATOR FACT: No. 11 General Jack (3-1 morning line). Trainer Mike Maker is 8 for 30 with a $3.17 ROI over the past two years in turf route stakes races of at least $100K with horses that won their prior race.Click for more details. – Mike Hogan :: Learn more about Formulator | Follow the @DRFFormulator Twitter feed and get free Formulator facts Captain Dixie won his last race at Arlington on May 30 by 11 1/4 lengths for trainer Kellyn Gorder. It was a maiden event, but Gorder thinks this is a good time to try stakes company. “This is a good time of the year to take a shot and see what you have,” Gorder said. “He ran greenly at Churchill and had a big hunk of sod hit him in the eye, and he kept throwing his head, so he had an excuse in his first out. He ran huge in his last [race] and came out of it great. We felt like he deserves a shot to see how good he is.” Carlos Marquez Jr. retains the mount. Wesley Ward sends out Here’s Johnny looking for his second turf victory. He finished second last year in the $117,250 Kentucky Downs Juvenile and the $100,000 Juvenile Turf at Gulfstream Park. The Centaur will be the second start of the season for Here’s Johnny, who won the $100,000 OBS Championship Stakes on Jan. 21 in Ocala, Fla. Malcolm Franklin will ride. Gorder also sends out the Irish-bred That’s Plenty in the $100,000 J. Kenneth Self Shelby County. Gorder just got the 5-year-old gelding June 3 and likes what he’s seen so far. “I have seen some of his races, and he likes to lay close,” Gorder said. “He seems to like the softer going, so hopefully they will get a little rain up there.” Maker sends out a pair in the Shelby County, Gentleman’s Kitten and Quiet Force, as an uncoupled entry. Should the race come off the turf, Maker also will have Leadem in Ken coupled with Gentleman’s Kitten. Quiet Force was claimed by Maker for owner Charles Kevin Warner on March 2 and then put in a pair of graded races. Quiet Force finished fourth in the Grade 3 Commonwealth at Keeneland and then ninth in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs on May 3. In his last start, he won a turf allowance race at Churchill on May 24. “He had no racing luck in his two previous starts for us and then ran huge on the grass,” Maker said. “We plan to keep him on the grass for now.”
